AROUND THE CIRCLE.
The President on his TravelE-Notes
Es-t,

not even appearing OUTSIDE OF Iub mousse,
thereby sorely disappointing a large
number of people who attended the
church, which it was expected would be
graced by the presence of President
and Mrs. Cleveland.
Monday morning the party left Madi-
son for st. Paul. No demonstration occur
red on the departure of the train, only a
small number OF people being at the de
pot. Alter few brief stops, the longest
twenty minutes ut La Crosse, st. Paul
was reached at 5 P. NJ The
party were driven to the Ryan
Hotel, ACCOMPANIED by big
procession. The reception was
very enthusiastic. Arriving at the ho-
tel the President was welcomed to the
city by Mayor Smith, Mr.. Cleveland
responding in few appropriate words
At 7:55 q parade was INDUCED in, the
line being reviewed by the President at
Bridge Square. Returning to the hotel,
a public reception was held, lasting till
nearly midnight.
about the city, the party made the long
and dangerous trip to the rival city of
Minneapolis, where they were formally
received by Mayor Ames and Gen. Rea,
commander-in- of the Grand
Army. Alter drive about the
city the President was intro
duced TO the people by the mayor at the
West Hotel, and Mr.. Cleveland respond
ed in few words. The Exposition was
then visited, the President again ad-
| dressing the people briefly After an
elegant little supper at the West Hotel,
the start westward was made at P. NJ,
Omaha being the objective point.
At the station in Omaha, Senator
Paddock, Congressman Dorsey and the
remaining members of the reception
committee, welcomed the city's guests.
The carriage to which the President and
his wife were escorted was a mass of
roses, Wreaths of which also bedecked
the horses. A multitude of many thou
sands cheered the party as it made its
appearance. One of the organizations
which attracted especial attention of
the President was the company of full
blood Indian youths from the Gen
oa Industrial School with an
Indian band of music. Gov.
Thayer and Congressman McShane
rode with the President and Mrs. CIeve-
land and pointed out, among other
things, the corner lots and business
properties which belong to the lady of
the White House, as one of the Folsom
heirs. Throughout the ride the party
was escorted by flying irregular squad
ron of youngsters, whose daredevil rid
ing excited continuous apprehension in
their behalf on the part OF the strangers.
The presidential train was three
quarters of an hour late in leaving Oma-
ha. At Plattsmouth and other places
| the people were out in force and though
enthusiasm very effectively. At the
outskirts OF st. Joseph, Congressman
Burns and Mr.. Hartwick, president of
| the board of trade, boarded the
train and importuned the President
| to make a longer stay than the
allotted half hour, but this he refused.
Bells and whistles heralded his
arrival at st. Joseph. The town had
| been dlling up during the preceding
| twenty-fOur hours, some 9, 800 strangers
having been brought in by rail, and
| these with the 10000 natives were all on
| hand. The Presidential party entered
| the carriages in waiting and a line OF
| vehicles a quarter of a mile in length
| carried the Presidential escort. 4 stop
was made for a moment when the head
of the procession reached the central
| square Ct the town where the pupils of
| the Convent of the Sacred Heart handed
| to the President a beautiful floral
|
| gave Mrs. Cleveland costly silver
basket filled with roses. The streets
were handsomely decorated. When,the
| party returned to the train and at
! tempted TO board it, there occurred an
| other o. those crusbes which have be-
| come somewhat familiar. but which are
none tie less terrible. This was caused
| by the frantic attempt of 10000 people,
moved by one impulse, to get into close
| quarters with the President. 1t was a
work o. pain and even of danger for bis
| fellow eXcursionists to make their way
to the train, a work in which the COM
mittee and the police rendered but lit
! tie assistance.
| The train arrived at Kansas City al
| S:l5. The committee of arrangements,
| headed by +. II. Allen, proceeded to
| Waldron, fifteen miles north, and joined
the party. At the depot and for blocks
around an immense crowd had gathered
The military and Democratic clubs OF
| the city and from neighborIng towns
served as an escort to the procession to
| the hotel. The President and Mrs
| Cleveland were obliged to appear on the
! balcony at about 10 o'clock in response
| to the cheers of large crowd assembled
in tie street below.
Tie trip from Kansas City to Mem
phis was without incident worthy Of
SPECIAL mention. Arriving at the latter
| place, delegation Of half a dozen gen,
tlemen met the train and invited the
party on board the Steamer Kate Ad
ans, which lay moored close at hand
| Upon the steamer they were welcomed
by about 200 of the leading citi
zens. The boat was bedeckeC
with flags and its spacious cabir
was a bower of roses. The Ad
ans cast her lines and to the music
of an artillery salute steamed up past
the city, the band playing and the peo-
pie along the shore cheering. The yes.
sci went up about three miles to give
| the President an opportunity TO see the
works of river improvement there is il
progress and, turning, came back to the
custom house, where the guests were
| landed.
Up to this time the best order pre-
vailed among the 10000 people on the
| levee. But when the President and Mrs
| Cleveland had been seated in their car

with the carriages, but no harm was
